Description: a C++ wrapper for the Simple DirectMedia Layer
SDLmm is a C++ glue for SDL, or the Simple DirectMedia Layer,
which is a generic API that provides low level access to audio,
keyboard, mouse, joystick, 3D hardware via OpenGL, and 2D framebuffer
across multiple platforms.
.
SDLmm aims to stay as close as possible to the C API while taking
advantage of native C++ features like object orientation.
It also aims at being platform independent as much as possible.
Thank you,
Barry deFreese

After having a look at the issue I saw that those file actually have a reference to the AUTHORS file, which seems to be the place in TomBoy where the copyright for all those files is declared. I personally would guess probably fulfills the letter of law and license (but it is really only a guess at this point). I'm a bit unsure though why it was chosen to refer to the AUTHORS file instead of just including the copyright statement in the file right next to the new one, which would probably have avoided this whole discussion. So pending a thorough review and without having seen the debian/copyright file, I currently see no reason not to allow this in Debian. I don't think that it contains any blatant lies about the copyright status of the work, even though I have the feeling it tries to avoid giving credit to the original authors any more than necessary. But that is a social issue and not a legal one.

It is the soon-to-be last package using libsoup2.2, which is now deprecated in favor of libsoup2.4.

I'll make sure this applies before the package is uploaded. It appears that upstream rejects this idea. Since I don't believe it's such a strong requirement (I'm pretty sure I could find many counter-examples), I'm going to upload the package in its current state: - When old file has no copyright/license information, only the new copyright/license header added by Hubert is present. - When old file has copyright/license information, the copyright line is preserved, and merged with Hubert's copyright line and license terms. Old license terms (LGPLv2.1) are discarded since they're compatible with GPLv3. and let the FTP team decide on that. If they rule that this needs to be fixed, I'll add the missing license headers from original code myself, diverging from upstream tree if necessary. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.

This doesn't imply they're the same thing though. I think we all agree the "Copyright" lines, whenever they were present, need to be preserved. The license bits in general too, but what happens when the license terms explicitly give you permission to relicense? I gave this example in another mail (sorry if I sound redundant); my understanding is that in "2 or later" terms in a GPLv2+ header the license version can be updated by recipients of the code, and that keeping the old license blob around is not a must; is this correct? Does section 12 of LGPL 2.1 work the same way? If not, where's the difference? -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.

I suspect that this is the case for any reasonable > programmer. I still hanker after the days of tweaking things in the assembly or hacking around in a compiled binary with a hex editor. As long as source code exists, the effort required becomes a pointless diversion but there remain instances where binary constructs are not compiled, they are created by test and experimentation according to the design (and more often the errata) of a particular piece of hardware using electrical equipment or hardware tools, not text editors. As such, not all firmware can be expected to have any source code. In this case, as we have a declaration that source code was involved, that doesn't apply here. -- Neil Williams = http://www.data-freedom.org/ http://www.nosoftwarepatents.com/ http://www.linux.codehelp.co.uk/ pgpdOcSrea9G3.pgp Description: PGP signature

Bug#523411: ITP: google-gflags -- a commandline flags processing library
Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist Owner: Ehren Kret -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 * Package name: google-gflags Version : 1.0 Upstream Author : Google Inc. * URL : http://code.google.com/p/google-gflags/ * License : New BSD License Programming Lang: C++ Description : a commandline flags processing library The google-gflags package contains a library that implements commandline flags processing. As such it's a replacement for getopt(). It has increased flexibility, including built-in support for C++ types like string, and the ability to define flags in the source file in which they're used. - -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers intrepid-updates APT policy: (500, 'intrepid-updates'), (500, 'intrepid-security'), (500, 'intrepid'), (50, 'jaunty') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkne6i0ACgkQwfrgSb2kTTpXuwCdHwn/Tnnq/XpXLryU8U3b+0/D tUsAn3zOpd/Ebt/DSDNOqtZjo2Q5oE3e =m4uo -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-wnpp-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
